Logging on to HINARI 1
Before logging into PubMed, we can Login to the
HINARI website using the URL
http://www.who.int/hinari/
Logging into HINARI 2
You need to enter your HINARI User Name and Password in
the appropriate boxes, then click on the Login button.
Note: If you do not properly sign on, you do not have access
to full text articles.
Remember - if you fail to use the Login page, you
have a second option on the Full text journals,
databases, and other resources sub-page.
Main HINARI webpage
Once you are logged in from the main HINARI
webpage, access PubMed by clicking on Search
HINARI journal articles through PubMed (Medline).
The Search box on PubMed is active. Place your search
statement in the box.
In this example, we enter a search for malaria infections
AND Africa into the Search or query box. To execute the
query, click on the Search button.
Results of the search are displayed in the main body of the page in
Summary Format, 20 Items per Page and Recently Added Sort by
options. This is the default setting when you complete a search.
Note the two additional filters for Free Full Text and HINARI articles.
These have been created in the HINARI/PubMed searches saved in My
NCBI (see module 4.5).
Of the 3562 articles, 1471 are available via the HINARI filter and 1091
with Free full text filter ( there are some overlaps).
Also note the additional hypertext link for Free
article. By clicking on this link, you will be redirected to the Abstract display and be able to
access the full text.
Note the Abstract Format with 20 Items per page and the
Recently Added Sort by options are displayed in the Display
Settings line above the abstract.
Note the Free Full Text and HINARI Filters. We now will click on
the HINARI one.
After clicking on the HINARI filter in the Abstract
display, a list of all the HINARI articles appears with
the HINARI icon. By clicking on this icon, the full-text
article will display. The Free Full Text filter will work
in the same way.
Note that some articles will have both the HINARI
and Free Full Text icons in the Abstract display.
We have accessed the full-text article using the
HINARI icon from the Abstract display.
Note that you can download the article as a PDF
or XML file or print the document.
Remember, you must be properly signed into
HINARI to get access to the full-text articles.
We now view the Display Settings drop down
menu for the Summary Format, 200 Items per Page
and Recently Added Sort by options. To activate,
click on the Apply box.
The larger listing of citations is useful in
low-bandwidth situations.
From the Send To drop down menu, we will be able to select the
File, Collections, Order, Clipboard and E-mail options.
You must place check marks in the boxes to the
left of the citations that you wish to send to File,
Collections, Order, Clipboard and E-mail options.
If you do not place check marks in the boxes, the
entire search will be sent to the option you
choose.
Note how PubMed lists the # of citations you have
checked.
From the Send To drop down menu, we will click on Create File,
with the Abstract and Recently Added options. This will be a
document to be downloaded from your Web Browser.
The pubmed_results has displayed as a .txt file at the
bottom of this web browser. We will click on the File
and display it using NotePad.
Note: in other web browsers, this will display in different
places.
We now view the text from a downloaded .txt
file in Notepad.
You can save this file to the C:/ drive or a flash
drive or a CD-Rom. Once saved, you can print
the document.
From the Send To drop down menu, we have selected to E-mail
a file, with the Summary and Recently added options. This will
be a document to be sent to the e-mail address you entered as
the recipient.
In the green message, PubMed has
noted that an E-mail has been sent to
the e-mail address you entered as the
recipient.
From the Send To drop down menu, we have selected to send a
citations to the Clipboard option. Note that 5 checked items
will be sent to the Clipboard .
In case, we have not checked the boxes in any of the citations,
the first 500 items will be added to the Clipboard.
The green message confirms that 500 items have
be added to the Clipboard. Note that the
Clipboard items will be lost after 8 hours.
`
In the Display Settings, a green Item in clipboard message
is noted for all the items you have selected.
Also note the number of records that has been sent to the
Clipboard .
To remove items from the Clipboard, click on Clipboard. The
PubMed search will re-appear and, using the green hypertext links,
you can Remove all items or Remove from clipboard individual
citations. In this case, we will Remove all items.
The green message notes that 5 items have
been removed from the Clipboard.
The green message notes that 500 items were
deleted from the Clipboard.
This is the end of Module 4 Part 1.
There is a workbook to accompany this part of the
module. The workbook will take you through a live
session covering the topics included in this
demonstration with working examples.
Updated 04 2010
As of April 2010, PubMed has added links to Free PubMed
Central articles and Books & Documents from the NCBI
Bookshelf. Besides Free Article hyperlinks, you will see Free text
links to PMC articles and Books & Documents.
Returning to the initial PubMed page, we briefly will
discuss the various training resources listed in the Using
PubMed box. Note that the resources range from a
Quick Start Guide to FAQs and numerous PubMed
Tutorials. Remember that these resources are for
general PubMed, not PubMed/HINARI.
We have accessed the PubMed Online Training
page. There is a link to an extensive PubMed
Tutorial and numerous Quick (animated) Tours
on Searching PubMed, Managing Results,
MeSH and MY NCBI plus Hot Topics.
From the initial PubMed page we have opened the PubMed New
and Noteworthy page. This is the location for recent enhancements
to PubMed and MY NCBI that often result in updates to the
HINARI/PubMed training material.
